Abstract
The tin dioxide nanosheet coated by N-doped graphene (SnO2@NGO) as a formaldehyde sensing material is prepared by a hydrothermal method. The coating of NGO thin layer on SnO2 forms a porous coating-nanosheet structure composite with a remarkable large heterogeneous interface. It promotes gas adsorption, carrier transport, and the final sensing performances significantly. The as-prepared SnO2@NGO shows a linear response to formaldehyde at ppb level concentration. The response value to 500 ppb formaldehyde is 9.8, which is about 7 times that of ethanol, ammonia and acetone. Such excellent selectivity and sensitivity are attributed to the following aspects: (i) active adsorption of oxygen by (110) oriented SnO2; (ii) selective adsorption of formaldehyde by the porous NGO layer; (iii) catalytic effect on redox reactions between HCHO and O2− by the pyridinic-N structure; (iv) efficient carrier transport through the spacious heterogeneous interfaces. The coating strategy provides a new insight into designing ultra-sensitive heterogeneous materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics is an established refereed companion to the Journal of Materials Science. It publishes papers on materials and their applications in modern electronics, covering the ground between fundamental science, such as semiconductor physics, and work concerned specifically with applications. It explores the growth and preparation of new materials, as well as their processing, fabrication, bonding and encapsulation, together with the reliability, failure analysis, quality assurance and characterization related to the whole range of applications in electronics. The Journal presents papers in newly developing fields such as low dimensional structures and devices, optoelectronics including III-V compounds, glasses and linear/non-linear crystal materials and lasers, high Tc superconductors, conducting polymers, thick film materials and new contact technologies, as well as the established electronics device and circuit materials.
